are decided than could be believed possible in

INSANE FROM REMORsE.
Exciting Scene In the Chicago
Young Mems Christian Asso.
citation Rooms.
rBy telegraph to the Dispatch-I

(By telegraph 10 the Dfspatch.l
CHICAGO, March 21-Maxwen Ernst
Virgo, young Englishman thirty-two
years of age, caused an exciting scene
in the Office of A. T. Hemingway,
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
Association, yesterday afternoon. He
was addicted 10 gambling, and in
occasional fits of remorse he has come
TO the rooms of the Association for
moral encouragement, and in this way
has become well known there. He
came yesterday rather more than usual
" broken down, and was invited into
the private Office Of the secretary.
As soon as the door was closed
he showed that he was violently insane.
He drew from his pocket small bottle
of muriatic acid, which he announced
his intention TO swallow, vociferously
bidding farewell TO the world. Secre-
tary Hemingway endeavored to take the
bottle from Virgo, when the latter en-
deayored to push Hemingway through
window. He would have succeeded
if help had not arrived promptly. The
window was broken out. The bottle OF
acid was knocked from Virgo's hand
before he could swallow its contents,
although he got some Of it in
his mouth and throat. and is badly
burned about the head and face. 1t
took two stalwart policemen and two
members of the Association to get Virgo
into an ambulance and to a hospital.
Physicians there say Virgo is in a bad
way, but may recover. He is amember
of a well-to-do English family.

THE NORFOLK ANNExATIoN
Considered by q Delegation OF Citi.
xcns from That CITY.


A delegation Of citizens from Nor
folk held conference at the Ex-
change Hotel last night TO con-
slider the bill now pending be-
fore the Senate Committee on County,
City, and Town Organizations to
amend tie charter of the city OF Nor
folk and extend its corporate limits by
aDnexing Brembleton, Atlantic City,
and Huntersville. The delegation was
composed Of Mayor Myers, City.Col-
lector Leroy Shields, who il an ex-
member OF the House of Delegates, and
representatives from the districts in
terested.
One OF the most important provi-
sions OF the bill, which has been en-
dorsed by the city authorities, is that
for fifteen years the rate OF taxation in
the annexed portion shall remain the
same that it now is, and that all money
collected shall be spent in the ward in
which it is collected under q board OF
citizens from said ward, and that the
new districts shall assume none OF the
present debt OF the city. The city also
proposes to furnish these wards with
police, water, protection from fire, &c.
The Brambleton representatives were
satisfied with the provisions of the bill,
but those from the other two wards were
not. Consequently when the confer
ence lat 1870 this morning. adjourned
no conclusion had been reached. The
committee before which the bill is
pending meets at 81 o'clock this morn
ing, and the delegation will appear be-
fore it and there renew the fight.

HALIFAX DEMOCRATS.
County Convention - Nominations
for County Offices.
tsneciaI tslepram to the Dispatch.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
SOUTH BOSTON, Va, March 21-
Democratic precinct meetings were held
in this county last Saturday to appoint
delegates to county convention held
at Halifax Courthouse to-day to noml-
nate candidates for county officers to
be elected in May. The precinct meet
ings were very largely attended, and
the people evinced the greatest interest.
Indeed, from appearances, the Demo-
cratic party of this county is better
organized than it was thought to be.
The Convention was composed of seven
ty-nine delegates, and the representation
was complete. The Convention was
called to order by William Leigh, Esq,
county chairman, who stated the object
of the meeting.
On motion, Mr.. William Leigh was
elected permanent chairman, and
Messrs. j. A. Phillips and b. Z. He'd
derby secretaries.
Nominations being in order, Major
John w. Rely, present incumbent, and
Mr.. l.. G. Watkins were placed before
the Convention for Commonwealth's
attorney.
Major Rely was nominated by vote
of 70 to 6.
Mr.. A. r. Green, present incum-
bent, was nominated by reclamation
without opposition for county treasurer.
So also were Mr.. f. III. Vaughan for
county clerk and Mr.. L. r. Jordan for
circuit clerk. For sheriff Mr.. w. L..
Moon was nominated by reclamation,
Mr.. c. c. Darlington, his only oppO-
nent, withdrawing from the contest.
The various districts then recon-
mended their nominations for the dis
trict offices and the Convention ratified
said recommendations as the nominees
of the Convention.
The successful candidates were then
notified of their nomination, and were
brought before the Convention and ac-
copied.
The defeated candidates then came
forward in response to calls, and grace
fully accepted their defeat, pledging
themselves to stand by the ticket and
work for its success.

IN DANGER
a PROMINENT PHYSICIANS OPINION
OF THE PRESIDENTS coEpIrIoH.
Fears that 10 Will Not Live Through
Bis Term He Must Change His
Mode Of Living.
lRr telegraph to the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, d.. c., March 21.-Dr.
/. z. Il. Towers, one Of the most promi
nent physicians OF Washington, in m
interview with reporter To-Day de-
clares that there is danger that Presi-
dent Cleveland Will not live through his
term unless there is change in his
mode Of living. DIR. Towers six months
before Mr.. Manning's illness made the
same prediction with regard to the
Secretary, and advised friend to warn
him OF his danger. In the interview to-
day DR.. Towers says: II may be
deemed impertinent TO talk to the Pres
ident through nevspaper-man, but L
know Of no other way Of reaching him
and those about him so surely. You
recall my attempts with the friends Of
Mr.. Manning and their fruit, and | do
not feel that / should take the same
chances in this matter. lam personal
" apprised of the Presidents condition,
and, while it is no sense dangerous, it
will not be long before there will
be reason for alarm. President
Cleveland is large, heshy man, and
since he came TO the White House has
gained enormously in flesh. When he
lived in Buffalo it was his habit to take
long walks. Since he came here, how
ever, he has abandoned every form OF
exercise except carriage-riding that is
of little or no use with the springs now
used and smooth streets for which
Washington is famous. The President
is man who works with his head a
good deal; he is in fact an intense
brain-worker. He is, in other words, a
plodder, and his brain is consequently
filled with an excess OF blood. What is
the result Heworks with ishead, eats
enormously, and fails to exercise his
muscles. His blood-vessels are weak
ened, and it is only question OF time
when, in o moment OF excitement, he
bursts a blood-vessel. L tell you, at
the rate President Cleveland is now
living, there is great danger that he will
not live throughout his term. Something
should be done to bring him to realize
his danger and take proper steps to
prevent a result which will surely ensue
II he fails to take proper exercise.
What i should recommend would be
the fixing up of room in the White
House and setting apart of half an hour
every day for gymnastic exercise. That
alone, in my opinion, will prevent a
catastrophe the avoidance Of which not
only the President but the country at
large is interested in securing.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.
The Rise in the Missouri of 1881
Surpassed Mt bismarck.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.

lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch-I
ST.. PAUL, MINI, March 21.-A Bis
marck special to the Pioneer Press
SAYS: The river is still rising an inch
an hour, having already passed the
high-water mark of the memorable flood
of 1881. All the lowlands are now in
undated. The only houses flooded on
the Bismarck side are few squatters
shacks. From the Bluffs one can see
huge cakes of ice up near the streets in
Mandan. The only method OF com
municstion between the towns is Uia
Cheyenne and Ogden.
The Boston-syndicate property, in
Guiding the fouring-mill and some
fifty residences, the elevator, shops,
and everything south of the track, is
submerged. Upper Heart river has
not yet broken lsose. The ice began
running again this evening. The indi-
cations are that at Fort Bufford the rise
is beginning to be felt. All the boats
are still safe, as is the Northern Pa
cific warehouse, the river being so wide
that the ice no longer crowds them.
kilograms from the western division
of the Northern Pacific say that trains
are running through TO Mandan from
Portland, no other bridges being out.
Several tons of western mail have been
brought back from Bismarck to be sent
around ria the Union Pacific.
